  1. I need a couple of printed stickers for cars. Im going to outsource the job to a big company. They told me that they use UV printers but they dont laminate. Does anyone here know how long the print will last without laminate? I doubt it will survive the winter here or many carwashes before it will tear apart or the colors will start to wear off.

    UV printing with or without laminate?

    I think it is true UV, but he told me it is not recommended to use laminate on UV ink. The decals are going to be put on the doors and on the rear bumper of taxi cars. So Im a bit worried it wont last without laminate but he says laminate is not recommended, Im a little confused now

    versacamm 300 not cutting straight

    Ive been on a long long break, I didn't buy the cutter
  4. Hi, there is a Versacamm 300 for sale 800 dollars. The only problem is that it doesn't cut straight. What do you think? Can we fix it ?
  5. Should I go with RLA 4075 or 4076?
  6. If you cut a and weed but wait with the application tape, lets say, you wait a couple of days or 1 week before you put application tape on. Will you struggle with the vinyl not releasing from the backing paper?

    Best application tape for Oracal 951 and 5600E

    I ordered 4775 RLA, ill let you know how it works. 4775 RLA is supposedly the premium version of 4075 RLA

    I was wrong. Its not RLA 4075 and RLA 4076. Its RLA 4775 and Aplitape 4885. Which one do I chose? I have to choose quick before they ship my order

    Best application tape for Oracal 951 and 5600E

    I bought the 4075 RLA. The one I use now is a local brand, it works really great on large cut vinyl and also on small cut vinyl alone. Like a small sized telephone number alone. But it is a nightmare to use on mixed sizes. If I have a design with both large and small cut areas it will only pull the large cut areas. I actually want to change to 4076 RLA but Im worried about it not letting go of the vinyl once applied to the surface

    What a relief Do you know if it will work well with 5600E? 5600E is a reflective film in case you didn't know.

    Do you use something similar to 951? I have ordered 4075, Im going too send it to a new (potential) customer, so I am very nervous and cant afford both 4075 and 4076. I can change my order to 4076 if 4075 isn't strong enough.

    Even for 951? Isn't 4076 too strong for 951?

    Did this today. They make kebabs and grill meat
  14. I use oracal 651 and use soap, water + alcohol as my application fluid. I have no problem installing on cars or other metal, aluminium etc surfaces. But installing on windows is hell. It won't dry, I usually have to wait 24-48 hours for it to dry. Sometimes it dries within an hour or so but not completely. If I try to remove the masking tape parts of it will come of with 0 problem but it will pull some parts of the graphic creating millions of bubbles, ruining everything. Should I change from 651 to something better?

    Very weird problem

    its just two months old. I dont think its the blade holder because it cuts fine in one are I called support and told them about the problem and that I have talked to you guys and mentioned the cutting strip. They are going to send me a new one. Hopefully it will solve all my problems.

    Very weird problem

    I have no idea why it happens, but I am 100% sure it is not a coincidence and not a bad file, nor is it bad vinyl. As it happens no matter what file or vinyl I use. I send my file to the cutter, cut it, weed it. Despite some pulls and tears, and bad rounded corners, All goes smoothly and weeds without any struggle. Now here is the problem I move the blade to the left and cut again, but this time it wont weed!! I tried upping the pressure but, still, no good results. The first one cuts fine though. This is very weird. I know its not the vinyl because it happens even if I change the vinyl. Its not the file either because it happens with whatever design I use

    It looks completely fine, but I could be wrong.

    Help me weed this?

    I managed to almost fix my problem but ran into another one along the way. This is a very weird. I dont think anyone knows how to fix it but it definitely deserves a new thread so I made another one.

    Help me weed this?

    Hi, I need to make 100 stickers of this design. Weeding it is a nightmare, especially the small stuff around the shield. The sticker is 57*12 CM. Any tips on how to make it weed better? I tried lowering the pressure setting on my cutter to 280 but that didn't help.

    Help me weed this?

    This didn't work for me I read somewhere that using too much pressure might push the excess vinyl down, making it harder to weed. I didn't know about this, I was going to cut 30+ at a time, you saved me a lot of trouble now! You are right, I have played with the blade depth, pressure settings and how close the bladeholder is to the vinyl. Ive been getting much better results, but Im still not satisfied. I have come to the conclusion that A: it is either blade depth / pressure / bladeholder, or B: it is A combined with the fact that my cutter cant cut better than this.

    I do that too, I press it down with the weeding tool I use, and it usually works, but this time, Im having some real trouble.

    Honestly, its impossible to do without changing something.

    Help me weed this?

    Correct, this is how it looks like. I have a Chinese cutter. I already ordered 651 in 3 different colors, as he wants 33 stickers in each 3 colors. So Im going to use 651 for this job and then switch over to 751. What could I have sett off? "Trouble" is a big understatementI

    Help me weed this?

    They dont have a website yet, they are going to make a new one, I just made the logo, but I didn't know it would be almost impossible to weed . Do you mean alter the design like this? The hardest part is weeding the small stuff around the shield. This wont help with that
